ITEM 1.01    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On November 27, 2024, HH FP Portfolio LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (the “Agreement”) with 275 Tremont Owner, LLC, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”), to sell the Courtyard Boston Downtown located in Boston, Massachusetts for $123.0 million in cash, subject to customary pro-rations and adjustments (the “Purchase Price”). On December 3, 2024, the Purchaser made a non-refundable deposit of $2.0 million (the “Deposit”). The sale is expected to be completed in January 2025 and is subject to normal closing conditions. If the transaction closes as contemplated, the Deposit will be applied to the Purchase Price.

The Agreement contains terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties and indemnities from each of the respective parties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature. Several conditions to closing on the sale remain to be satisfied, and there can be no assurance that the sale transaction will be completed on the general terms described above or at all.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements and assumptions in this current report on Form 8-K contain or are based upon “forward-looking” information and are being made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities regulations. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” or other similar words or expressions. Additionally, statements regarding the following subjects are forward-looking by their nature: our business and investment strategy; anticipated or expected purchases, sales or dispositions of assets (including the expected completion date of the sale described herein); our projected operating results; completion of any pending transactions; our plan to pay off strategic financing; our ability to restructure existing property-level indebtedness; our ability to secure additional financing to enable us to operate our business; our understanding of our competition; projected capital expenditures; the impact of technology on our operations and business; the risk that noncompliance with NYSE continued listing standards may impact the Company’s results of operations, business operations and reputation and the trading prices and volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards. Such forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of our future performance taking into account all information currently known to us. These beliefs, assumptions, and expectations can change as a result of many potential events or factors, not all of which are known to us. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans, and other objectives may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider this risk when you make an investment decision concerning our securities. These and other risk factors are more fully discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
The forward-looking statements included in this current report are only made as of the date of this current report. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances, changes in expectations or otherwise.
